Ukrainian long-range drones reportedly targeted Russia’s largest oil refinery complex in Ufa, located approximately 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine. The attack resulted in a large plume of smoke visible over the facility, according to local reports.
Details about the extent of damage or potential casualties have not yet been confirmed. Russian authorities have not issued an official statement on the incident but have acknowledged the attack and are investigating the situation.
The refinery is a significant infrastructure asset for Russia’s energy sector, and any disruption could impact regional fuel supplies. This event marks one of the more distant drone strikes against critical infrastructure in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
Authorities are on high alert as investigations continue, and there is heightened concern about the potential escalation of hostilities involving long-range drone technology. Further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
